For the past two years, it’s been happening across the world, but now millions have seen it on live TV during a Monday night NFL game.
The sight of Damar Hamlin suddenly collapsing on the playing field shocked a great many people, including me. Fortunately, emergency response personnel were able to get his heart beating again, although he remains in critical condition at the present time.
Our prayers go out to him, his family, and his teammates.
Dr. Peter A. McCullough, one of the most prominent cardiologists in America, believes that doctors treating Hamlin should seriously consider myocarditis as the cause of Hamlin’s sudden heart attack. Since January of 2021, instances of this heart condition have risen exponentially among teenagers and young adults, which in some cases has led to death.
A GLOBAL INCREASE IN DEATHS
A growing number of people recognize that something is very wrong with the excessive number of sudden deaths across the world. Although Hamlin is still alive, his cardiac arrest highlights this matter.
A Rasmussen poll, released on January 2, 2023, reveals that nearly half of Americans suspect that COVID-19 shots may be to blame for the significant increase in unexplained deaths. About one in four believe they know someone who died from them. Hamlin received a booster injection on December 26, six days before collapsing on the field.
Almost every day, I read of someone under the age of 45 having a severe stroke or dying from a heart attack. It’s far too often that I see an account of a teenager suddenly dying in this way.
AGENDA OF THE ELITE
In several previous posts, I have written about the depopulation plans of the globalists. Yet many believers and pastors believe such a matter is far too extreme to even consider as true.
The elite, however, have no problem openly admitting their deadly agenda. Some time ago, I listened to a talk that Bill Gates gave several years ago in which he clearly stated that a fifteen percent fatality result of a vaccine would be acceptable. If you apply that percentage to the number of people in the U.S. that have taken the now famous injection, you would arrive at thirty million deaths.
Just yesterday, I watched a lady via social media tell Klaus Schwab, the head of the World Economic Forum, that the world needs to get back to the population of five hundred years ago because only that low number will be sustainable for the future. Several months ago, I heard another globalist set the goal of America’s population for the year 2025 at one hundred million. That stunned me!
Such depopulation talk is all too common among the elite powerbrokers, but very few people are paying attention.
A WAKE-UP CALL FOR US AND FOR PASTORS
Regardless of what caused Hamlin’s sudden heart attack, it should be a wakeup call for all of us, and especially for those tasked with caring for the body of Christ. Pastors can no longer deny the reality of the rapidly approaching fulfillment of Revelation 4-18. The words of the Apostle John in these chapters are not symbolic or past history; they represent prophecy regarding the future of the world. We see the precursors of these judgments all throughout the world.
We may have mere hours left before Jesus’ appearing or it may be days, weeks, months, or even much longer. A myriad of signs points to the fact that normal as we know it is rapidly coming to an end. The spirit of the antichrist is already hard at work in advance of his unveiling to the world, which cannot happen until after the Rapture.
The words of Romans 13:11-12 apply to us today perhaps better than at any previous day:
Romans 13:11-12 KJV – “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.”
The saints need repeated reminders of their imminent and joyous hope in Jesus’ appearing during this dark age in history. Yet many pastors never mention the “blessed hope” of the Gospel with even more denying its biblical basis.
A TIME FOR LOOKING UP
With all my heart, I believe the prophetic signs of today point to the nearness of the Rapture; I say this because everything I see shouts to the closeness of the seven-year Tribulation.
I also know that the Lord is both sovereign and all-powerful. From our perspective, He may forestall the start of this horrific time on the earth for a longer time than we can imagine and with it His return to take us home to glory.
Regardless, now is the time for looking up and holding the things of this life loosely in our hands. I cannot forget the sight of Hamlin suddenly dropping dead with a rapid emergency response required to bring him back to life; I pray he fully recovers.
If this had happened sixty years ago, it still would’ve gotten our attention in a dramatic way. But now, how much more should it alert us to the perilous times in which we live?
Although many things in our world often shock us, as believers we have a joyous and glorious hope. We are ever so close to the fulfillment of the prophetic words that Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:50-57 the words below from 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17:
1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 KJV – “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
In these passages and in many others, the Bible describes the biblical event we call the “Rapture” and tells of a day in which not all believers will die, but the Lord will transform their bodies and catch them up to meet Him in the air.
My hope is to be alive at the time of the Rapture and I believe it’s a valid expectation given the closeness of the Day of the Lord.
Keep looking up, the Lord is coming soon to take us to glory (John 14:1-3; Colossians 3:1-4).
Maranatha!
